This is a book I’ve messaged many of my friends about. So if this is Round 2 for you, sorry not sorry 🤣
The CIA doesn’t write many books. (I get it!) But the historian in me is really glad the agency had an analyst pen this one.
From Truman to Trump, the author digs into how each president preferred to be briefed, the questions they asked about world events, how their demeanors and moods differed, and much more. You get everything from the Bay of Pigs to 9/11 and beyond — and somehow it leaves you wanting more stories, additional detail, extra scoop.
It’s the CIA, after all. But what a hell of a read. Let’s just say this: many different presidents and many different styles. Some liked to study; some didn’t. The book names ‘em all.
Big thank-you to my lovely wife @ladytaylornoel for patiently listening to the various excerpts I read aloud last month while we were in Laguna Beach 😆 highly recommended! 🇺🇸
